William H. Vanderbilt was remark

doubled the value of the 500, 0,000, ,0O0 that
his father left him, and did it in about
,en years-mOSt Of that period being the
hardest kind Of hard times that the
country has ever had-proEes that he
was no ordinary man. He was not
stock gambler. He never read
the tape. He never looked at
the ticket in his life. He
was cool, long-headed investor. When
he was up at Saratoga and the bears
were selling Northwest he was buying
it very quietly, and before they knew it
he had millions of dollars in it. Os-
borne and all the rest of the bears used
to go to him when he was taking up all
the Northwest that they would sell and
ask him who was buying the thousands
of shares they were selling at time.
They never knew until the next fall
that Vanderbilt had been buying it.
That; stock alone netted him millions of
dollars.
1t was the same way with Michigan
Central and with Union Pacific. jay
Gould never knew that Vanderbilt was
buying Union Pacific until he discov-

like swapping your jack-kniveS; you

This may be considered deceit, but it
was not. He would not tell his business
to anyone, nor did he ask others to
disclose their affairs. He was not
communicative. but if he ever did
tell man anything he meant it,
and he always kept his word. TO
the few who were well acquainted

fine sense of humOr and very communi-

so long, was one of his oldest and near

but Willie X. is the better financier and
railroad man. At the great railroad
meeting, which William H. and his sons
attended, Tom Scott remarked that he
never in his life had known brighter

he stuck to the railroad business he
would prove to be a great deal smarter
than the old commodore. But Willie

POOLING THE BIG FISH.
Setting a Trap for Them Under
Water With a. Novel Lamp.

Water With a. Novel Lamp.
A number of lawyers, insurance men,
and men about town have made up a
party to go down to Creve CGur lake
and play mean trick upon the unsus-
pecting fishes in those placid waters as
Seon as the darkness of night favOrS
their treacherous design, says the st.
Louis Republican of late date. One
OF the party was chuckling yesterday
afternoon at the way he was going to
fool the bass, the catfish, the lOggerhead
chubS, and all other things that swim
with fins in the lake. Come round and
see my fish lamp" said the fisherman,
whom the writer encountered on Pine
street, not a thousand yards from the
merchants exchange.
Upon the top of Il desk in an Office
near by a queer-looking object was
found. AT first sight it might easily
nave been mistaken for an Internal ma
chine, consisting of twO-inch tube
about twenty-four inches long, with a
bulb at each end for the dynamite. On
closer inspection the lower bulb proved
to be small lamp with blue
glass globe; the tin tube was
merely a supply of pipe to feed
the lamp with air as it fi0ated some two
feet under water, while the upper bulb
was simply sort of buoy to add to the
floating power of the whole. Inside the
larger tube was smaller one to carry
OIL the smoke and gases from the burn
ing lamp. The lamp and all its points
are perfectly water highland in use the
upper ends of the air pipes will be
above the surface. The most noticeable
thing about the whole arrangement is Il
glass box built around the lamp. This
box admits free circulation of water
through it; ii is the lve-minnOw box.
''Wnat are you going to do with ito"
asked the reporter, after mastering all
the details.
do with it? Wait till you see the
fish we bring back. But if you can t
wait I'll tell you; After dark the lamp
will be lighted. Half dozen minnows
will be shut up in the glass box and the
whole thing will be flOated in the lake
What then? Well, fishes hereabouts
are fond of a light, where there are no
gas bills TO pay, ana as soon as the lamp
begins shining under water they swarm
around it like tramps at free-lunch
counter. About the time they begin to
be real SOciable with the minnOWS we
drop in our hooks baited with spring
worms and other delicacieS. 1t won't
be long before we land fish enough to
feed a regiment. Aladdin's lamp wasn't
circumstance to this
Don't you think you'll feel mean
after catching boat load of fish by such
deception?'
''Oh, no, no. Not at all. We don't
propose to take any unfair advantage Of
the fish. You see, this is merely a de-
vice to save rowing; it brings the fish
to us instead OF our having to paddle
around after them. They needn't bite
if they don't want to.

pride in the beautifying of their
homes. Many elegant cottages

There has been but little variation in
the real estate market during the past
week. All the characteristics are the
same as those of the preceding ones. If
there has been any difference whatever,
it has been rather more quiet, in appear
ance. As the days of the week were
passing it seemed very quiet indeed,
and as though but little business was
being transacted, yet each day footed up
the usual amount of not far from $780,
600. yet it did not seem as if so much
was being transacted. There has been
very few large sales this week.
Take the week together and sales
will run from about $1,000 to
$4,000 each on an average, and
the large majority of these have been
residence lots. This would seem to in
dictate large influx of population, which
Is the fact. The inquiry at real estate
offices for houses to rent and for lots
upon which to build has been consider
ably increased. Quite Il number Of new
manufacturing establishments have sig
nified their intention to locate here, and
quite an impetus has been given to this
side of the market, and in every aspect
there seems to be Il quiet, steady SOlidlty
that cannot be shaken

Mr.. Cabot's Memoirs
Emerson, Mr. James says, Had no prosaic
side relating him to ordinary people" Rather. I
should say. his nature and circumstances had
predisposed him to ignore tho prosaic side, the
accidents of the individual, in himself and 9th
ers, and to look at each person a type, an
illustration of particular side of humanity.
Every kind and manner of interested
him, and the the greater the differ
ence from himself Every man, he took for
granted, had his own ideal, his vision of per
lection; and he was eager to know what it was
that made the particular object of pursuit inter
esting. what seemed best worth while in the
others scheme of life. But further than this
he did not readily go. Il like man." he writes
in his journal at this time, but not men.
The genius of humanity is very easily and
accurately to be made out by the poet
mind; but it is not in Miss Nancy Adorniram
in any suffciency. like man, but not men,
Instincts. tendencies-they do wrong; they
are beautiful and may be confided in and obeyed.
Though they slay us. let trust them. But
